  1. So the new version of Mint will no longer unmount and encrypt the home directory when a user signs out because something something systemd? #mint #Linux #mintLinux

    Seems like AI is doing so much good, you guys!

  3. Yesterday on my #LinuxJourney: couldn't get to work Double Commander's FTP plugin to autenthicate me with my SSH keys. Maybe the format of the public key was wrong, but why it even needs it, if neither Filezilla, nor SSH itself does. When I gave up on that pursuit, setting up Filezilla for 3 connections with different bookmarks was maybe 15 minutes total.

    Also changed the icon of the "start" menu from Mint logo to a little heart. Didn't found a rainbow.

  5. My #LinuxJourney is going as expected – ups and downs. On the one hand, I spent half a day and didn't figure out, how to fix that some apps are not scaling with the rest, the ant-sized text hurts. Might be something X11 and Wayland related, but does Cinnamon even uses Wayland?! The more I searched, the more confused I got. Sadly one of these programs are KeePass2, but I absolutely refuse security apps, where LLM-generated code is allowed, no XC for me.

  7. Will see how it goes next week but so far it seems that by far the biggest problem in my Linux journey will be hibernation. Not only that it seems to be rather complex setup (e.g., I found this for my Mint github.com/linuxmint/linuxmint), but that hibernation is done in swap file/partition, so there is no way to guarantee that it will not fail became swap was too full.

  9. I have finally switched to linux for my Personal Computer usage! Thanks #freegeekpdx #mintlinux @veronica @b0rk and the uncountable others who make this socio-sphere welcoming and accessible!

  11. So a little nut to crack for my #linux bubble: I am running #mintlinux on my external Thunderbolt SSD on the 2013 iMac. Problem is: When I suspend and then resume, the TB SSD does NOT wake up. System hangs -- because there is no root FS anymore!
    I already tried iummu=soft and pcie_aspm=off in the grub defaults:

    GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash iommu=soft pcie_aspm=off"

    But that does nothing to help. Any other ideas how to wake the sleeping princcess?

  13. Bem, para já isto fica assim, ainda não estou convencido mas por agora está bom (já não gosto nem de usar a palavra "chega").

  14. After experimenting with #cachyOS, I’ve decided to stick with #MintLinux for now. Some of the apps I enjoy using are only available for Debian-based distributions.

    Or any other Distro recommendation for someone who comes from #MacOS?

  16. @angiebaby it's my go-to recommendation for most folks looking to try Linux. Solid, dependable, looks great, just works. I used it for quite a while back in the day, and I still have a soft spot for it. Well, the Debian edition, anyway.

    #MintLinux is just a great OS.

  17. To everyone using #MintLinux:

    Please run `sudo passwd` and set a password for your root shell right now!

    Failing to do so will keep your system wounderable to a password-less recovery root shell, which's only security measure asking you to press "Enter", nothing else.

    I am doing #FullDisclosure of this massive #SecurityBreach right now, as this huge problem is apparently known for years already, but nobody seems to care at @linuxmint

  19. With all the distros of Linux and versions of Godot and my knowing little about either, i've a curious situation & wouldn't know who to turn to for help. So initially I'm here on Masto. 🤗
    Suddenly every time I load any version of Godot 4 it crashes upon starting new project. I say 'suddenly' but it could be since Mint updates. Its the Debian 12 version of Mint. Might anyone be experiencing similar?

  21. 3 weeks of using #Linux as my daily driver. Started with #Mintlinux to wet my lips a little. Think I'll switch to #Arch soon (by the way).

    Been learning about i3 tiling window manager.

    Never expected to get such an increase in battery life switching to Linux! 8h battery life is crazy!

  22. Here's an irritating pattern. I run my computer(s) 42/7, Tor and/or BOINC. Both have external drives. Both have Linux freshly flashed with Balena. Both more often than not after a hiatus boot into GRUB. Why?

  24. I lied. I never have used Arch. Settled on Fedora for Computer the Elder, which'll run Tor & BOINC 100%. Good to distrohop occasionally. Sticking with Mint on main.

  26. No idea why Update Manager wants to replace linux-image-5.15.0-121-generic with an unsigned version and is unable to do so. And given that Flatpak security packages are left hanging, is this more than a niggling inconvenience?

  28. E a saga da mudança de paradigmas continua. Já dei adeus ao Windows, Photoshop, Lightroom e X (Twitter). Pra substituí-los dei as boas vindas ao Linux (estou usando Ubuntu no desktop e Mint no notebook), Gimp, Darktable e Mastodon.
    No processo de adeus o Instagram q vai dar lugar ao Pixelfed (já em uso).
    Hj comecei mais uma mudança, o adeus ao Coreldraw q será substituído pelo Inkscape.
    Viva a vida open source.
